Answer

Step 6: Now we cannot proceed further as the degree of the remaining dividend 7 is less than the degree of the divisor x2. So, 7 is the remainder when 3x34x2+2x5 is divided by x2.

Steps

Step 1 :Step 1: Write the dividend and the divisor in long division format. We are looking for the quotient and the remainder when dividing 3x34x2+2x5 by x2.

Step 2 :Step 2: Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor, that is, 3x3x=3x2. Write this term above the division bar.

Step 3 :Step 3: Multiply the divisor x2 by the term 3x2 obtained in Step 2 and subtract this from the original dividend to obtain a new dividend.

Step 4 :Step 4: Repeat the process with the new dividend. Divide 2x2 by x to get 2x, write it above the division bar, and subtract 2x(x2) from the new dividend.

Step 5 :Step 5: Repeat the process with the new dividend. Divide 6x by x to get 6, write it above the division bar, and subtract 6(x2) from the new dividend.

Step 6 :Step 6: Now we cannot proceed further as the degree of the remaining dividend 7 is less than the degree of the divisor x2. So, 7 is the remainder when 3x34x2+2x5 is divided by x2.
